Ten Tips To Greater Sales on GospelReggae.com: PART 3 (Advertising)
Dec. 12, 2009 - 3rd Key to Greater Sales: Advertise for Free on Facebook...
Greetings Gospel Reggae artist, are you looking for a way to sell more albums? Then please read this article. Continued from my previous two writings, here's my 3rd tip on how to get to better sales on gospelreggae.com...
3. GET SOME FACE TIME (Advertise on Facebook): If you are anything like me, the second you read the above subtitle you probably winced a bit. I hate advertising. It's not the ads that I dislike. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my ad in a magazine, website or on a mass mailer that reaches 150,000. I just hate paying for it.
But one thing that I have learned in recent years is that bestsellers always advertise-That's how they become bestsellers. Do you want to sell more records on GospelReggae.com? If so then you must advertise. Do you hope to have more people attend your next show? Then you've got to let them know.
That's why I have chosen to advertise on Facebook. Why Facebook? Everybody's on it. They're the biggest social networking site in the world with a whopping 350 million regular users.
I know you're still reluctant, but what if I told you that I've figured out a way to advertise on Facebook for free? Sound too good to be true? It's not.
Here is the link to a few different coupon codes that can get you as much as $250 worth of advertising for FREE:

I just signed up last night and it works. I started off with the $50 coupon code and opted to only spend $15.00 a day in ads. I chose specific keywords to target my core audience. It didn't take long to set it up and in just a few hours I had 55,047 impressions for only $15 (that wasn't mine in the first place)!
So go for it! It doesn't take long at all to set it up. For the click through link, I strongly suggest that you provide the direct link to your latest album page on our http://www.gospelreggae.com webstore.
Here is the link to get started: http://www.facebook.com/advertising/
Facebook will guide you through every step of the way and the end result will be millions of impressions for free. I know that after all of the coupon codes run out, I will continue to advertise with them because it's a necessary part of business.
So what are you waiting for? It's as easy as 1-2-3. And while you're at it let us know if you want a banner ad or commercial on the main page http://www.gospelreggae.com (see below for more details).
Blessings in Christ,
